Seasider Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I am getting ready to order a BB from Amazon. We will use it for Spelling Power, and for practicing cursive and Greek letters. Would the 8.5" be big enough? Which size did you choose, and how did you decide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm not sure of the exact dimensions on ours, but I think it's 8.5" by 5.5". There is plenty of room if you don't write in gigantic letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks, Aurelia! I am being tempted by the larger ones, but not sure I want to spend the extra money. Good to know that size works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 A person named Seasider needs to qualify which type of boogie board!! I was completely confused by your post! :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was completely confused by your post! :lol::lol::lol: Haha!!! Point taken! We are well stocked on the type for water use.:D I'm talking about that fun Amazon electronic scratch pad. I think of it as a 21st century etch-a-sketch! I hope to reduce paper waste and keep a fun edge to some of our subjects (kind of like that special box of fascinating toys that used to only come out when Mommy needed some down time).

Clearly, I'm a slacker homeschooling Mom as well as a slacker Amazon buyer, because until you posted I had no idea such a thing existed! Thanks! (And, I came to the thread to tell you my 8 yr old just got a new extra large on sale, and it worked great in the waves for her today even though she's only 50 lbs...)

I did too... glad I'm not the only one who is out of the loop. Off to search Amazon... :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I ordered the 8.5" size. In case anyone else is interested, this size is on sale for $29.99. HOWEVER (there's always a catch, dangit!), if you take the special deal price, shipping time is 6-7 weeks! I went ahead and paid the regular $35 price and will have it in a couple of days.

Aoife Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ok so I want to know what makes these so much better then a digital writing tablet for the PC? or why they seem so useful considering there is no save function. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 They had these at a Staples store I visited, only it was under another brand. They're nifty, but I would have only paid $10 for it. No colors, only useful for small things. At some point it's better to save for an ipad or go back to the trusty whiteboard. Whatever, if it's gonna be the next new thing, thought maybe people would like to know they can see it at some Staples stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, too! ok so I want to know what makes these so much better then a digital writing tablet for the PC? or why they seem so useful considering there is no save function. :bigear: Considering I neither have nor want a digital writing tablet for my PC, and I don't intend to save anything, it meets my need. They had these at a Staples store I visited, only it was under another brand. They're nifty, but I would have only paid $10 for it. No colors, only useful for small things. At some point it's better to save for an ipad or go back to the trusty whiteboard. Whatever, if it's gonna be the next new thing, thought maybe people would like to know they can see it at some Staples stores. Again, it's exactly what I was looking for. I spent many years stopping to erase and clean white boards and hunt for pens with fresh ink. I am excited about a new method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
